Wrote the Free mock today (as a diagnosis?) and it really surprised me + requesting your two cents

Okayy so this genuinely surprised me – I have been scoring pretty well in VA sectionals (I range from 120 to 145). However, my maths is in need of some serious polishing (I was a non-maths student in my +2 years and I am out of practice). I thought giving the free mock would be better since more people would've given that, but I didn't really see the difference in no. of people. Oh well, anyways.

Here are the deets:

SA – 2 bins to the LEFT (-ve thing)

MCQ – 2 bins to the right

VA – 1 Bin to the right

Overall – 2 bins to the right

What really caught me off guard was how I messed up in VA. I was expecting atleast 128ish in VA, and the 116 surprised me. What also surprised me, is the SA section lol. But I can't complain.

Coming onto MCQ – What really helped me was the +15 I got from the DILR (yes, i messed up the probability question and only got 4 correct along with a -1). I was done with the DILR within 7 minutes, and I guess that contributed to almost 50% of my score.

I really don't know why my VA was so low, since I have been scoring well in sectionals. Maybe it was the exhaustion or the hunger. Idk. Imma analyse it after grabbing a bite to eat.

In the meantime, I would really appreciate it if ya' all could give your two cents about it. @BasicallyBhavesh - considering this as a diagnostic mock, do you figure I have a realistic chance?

Curious to know what the seniors think.

Thanks!
